Stipulation Added To Finn Balor Vs. Dominik Mysterio At WWE WrestleMania 42 Night 2

“WWE Raw” General Manager Adam Pearce revealed in a backstage segment on the pre-show ahead of night two of WWE WrestleMania 42 that a stipulation has been added to “The Demon” Finn Balor and Dominik Mysterio’s grudge match. The pair will now face off in a street fight, much to Mysterio’s chagrin.

The AAA Mega Champion was seen backstage complaining to Pearce that he shouldn’t have to face the demon, as the contract he signed said “Finn Balor.” Pearce said Mysterio was right, he shouldn’t be wrestling the demon, so he’s not wrestling, he’ll be having a street fight. Mysterio looked exasperated as Pearce walked away.

Balor revealed on the April 6 edition of “Raw” in a video promo that he would be bringing his demon persona to WrestleMania to take on his former friend. Balor was cast out of Judgment Day on the March 9 episode of the red brand after weeks of tension, after Balor cost Mysterio the Intercontinental Championship when he prevented him from cheating in a match against Penta. After the early March beat down, Balor cost Mysterio a chance at regaining the title from Penta when he returned to “Raw” a few weeks later.

In addition to the street fight, five other matches will be contested on night two of WrestleMania, including a six-man ladder match for the Intercontinental Championship. Three other titles will also be defended, including the United States Championship, the WWE Women’s title, and the World Heavyweight Championship in the main event.

Former Nexus Member Michael Tarver Looks Back On WWE Debut

The first season of “WWE NXT” introduced fans to talent like Bryan Danielson and Wade Barrett, who would both go on to have lengthy runs in WWE and capture gold. After winning the show, Barrett later rallied his fellow contestants to form the Nexus. One of the group’s members, Michael Tarver, recently looked back at the “WWE Raw” debut of the Nexus back in 2010.

“It was a crazy night because everything was done in secret,” Tarver said during an interview on “Rewind Recap Relive.” According to Taven, the faction members were brought in backstage and instructed by John Cena and Vince McMahon to “destroy” Cena in the ring, while giving them all their signature Nexus armbands. “If it didn’t look real, we were fired. So, we said ‘Okay,’ so we just destroyed everything.”

Tarver was known for the mask he wore around his mouth, and explained the significance of the attire piece. “I remember I put the mask on for the first time – or the second time, ’cause I did it on an episode of ‘NXT’ – and I was standing by the guardrail … and a lady standing next to me noticed me, looked at me, and screamed!” he recalled. “I remember I laughed, I winked at her and then jumped the guard rail.” Tarver continued to describe The Nexus’ debut as surreal, and expressed that while he enjoyed the debut a lot, it all went by so fast that in hindsight it seems like a dream.

“I still remember every detail vividly; it was just an amazing night,” he recalled. Tarver then claimed that the debut segment paid off, and McMahon was very happy with their performance.
